His Sweetheart Saved His Life


One of the best-known men in Nash
vile owes his life and success to his
sweetheart. He was born and reared
on one of the British Isles, the son OF
a prosperous banker. When nearly Il
he had a serious difficulty with his
father and was hidden never to darken
the doors OF his ancestral home II
was late at night when he left the house
and wandered along the moor which
pordered the family domain. He was
Frustrated with grief and remorse and
determined to take his life He sat
down and took his pistol out. AS he
reflected, he took a photograph OF his
sweetheart from an inner pocket OF his
coat and scanned the well-known fea-
lures with eyes dimmed with tears.
Thinking upon her, hope returned, and
he determined to live for her sake, if
not for his own. He hastily showed
the weapon into his pocket and started
for the railway station. He came to
America and drifted to Nashville. He
prospered in business and is now a
highly respected citizen.
Unfortunately the romance ends
here. For years he had no communi-
cation with his family, and the letters
he wrote his sweetheart miscarried, for
shortly after he left her family moved
TO distant town. He returned home
few years age and sought out his
early love. She was married. and
three children played about her knees
He has consoled himself with a fair
American. and considers himself one Of
the happlest Of men. But he has never
ceased TO thank his stars for the girl
who once saved his life; that her infiu-
ence did prevent him from suicide he
frankly stated to one who is familiar
with his life. -NdshUiiie american.

ry 10 Save His Guilty Mother.
A Boston dispatch says: Three years
in state prison is what a son took to
shield his guilty mother. Now she is
dead and he seeks release.
On Thanksgiving day, 1888, John +.
Toomey died very mysteriously in a
house on fuckers wharf, in Salem,
where lived the mother of Jack Curtin
There was an autopsy and Toomey
was found to have died from singular
fracture of the skull, apparently a
blow from an extraordinary weapon.
The physicians could not account for
its radiating appearance until the
family kettle was found. Then the
fracture ives explained to their salts
faction. The police took up the case,
and suspicion fastened upon Curtin,
who had fled the state to avoid arrest
He was followed to Gloversville, N. T.,
where he was captured after hard
chase. He asserted his innocence
to the last, and declared that he had
never committed the crime He refus-
cd however, to say who did, and went
to prison. His mother was COM
pletely broken down, and died appar-
emily from grief, year and four
months after Jacks imprisonment.
Now the prisoner by his attorney
asks for a conditional pardon on the
ground that he never committed the
deed. The petition recites that he was
not in the room at the time Toomey
was killed. 1t is declared that John
+. Toomey came to the house and en-
tering the bedroom of Jack Curtins
sister grossly assaulted her. Mrs.
Curtin, the mother babe him BECOME.
Then Toomey attempted a second as
sault and Mrs. Curtin, enraged, seized
polishing-iron and struck Toomey
the blow that caused his death. The
son told his mother he would leave the
state to draw suspicion upon himself,
ana ulu SO. I1t ucCltlco hio "p''i'J w
prove his statements amply to the salts
faction of the governor and council
and application will be made for writ
of habeas corpus to bring Curtin be-
fore them. He has been an excellent
prisoner during the three years and
three months of his incarceration.
The evidence at Curtin's trial, though
conflicting, was generally direct, and
one-Casey-swore positively OF seeing
Curtin strike Toomey with the kettle.
The medical experts present at the
autopsy testified that Toomey died
from stellated fracture OF the skull,
which could hardly be produced by
any other weapon but the kettle. An
effort was made to prove an abb.
The mother of Curtin, before the
murder woman of strong character
istics, was completely changed after
the crime. She wasted to a shadow OF
her former self, but it was believed
that it was because Jack" her fav-
orite son, was convicted. Every week,
as long as she had strength, she drag
ged herself up to the state prison to see
her boy. She died finally of exhaus-
ton.
